using that louis ck thing is so tired especially because that explanation gets it all wrong anyway even though at one point in time faggot was used to mean a bundle of sticks and heretics were burned at the stake and if the repented would have to wear a bundle of sticks on their sleeve to show what couldve been more likely calling gay men faggot comes from the word simply being used as a negative adjective to describe women so it was another way to insinuate that gay men were like worthless women
